Crete earthquake - latest travel advice from Simon Calder

An earthquake with a magnitude of 5.9 struck off the eastern coast of Crete, Greece’s largest island, in the early hours of Wednesday morning, which was felt as far away as Egypt. The quake hit near the islands of Kasos and Karpathos, smaller islands near Crete’s east coast in the Mediterranean Sea, with a depth of 35km (22 miles), the Athens Geodynamic Institute said. No damage or injuries have been reported, but Greek authorities have issued a tsunami warning in the area. Crete is a popular holiday destination due to its pristine beaches, thriving resort scene, rich history and unique natural landscapes, but the island also happens to be one of the most earthquake-prone in Europe.
